Empire of Slupsk

[JonathanOfArc]

First game starting at 769 in a while. Hungary never formed but there are lots of Hungarians around. My problem is that bright green realm which is the Empire of Slupsk. That's an empire based off of the Pomeranian county of Slupsk. Some nomad groups have settled and converted to Slavic which was fine by me as I am playing as the King of Poland and pagan. The guy who created this empire is an adventurer although I don't know if he got his lands via adventuring. I really don't know to much about nomad mechanics, and am a bit confused as to why they are an empire, and an empire based off a county of all things, and a county that's pretty far from their main lands. That Pomeranian land was recently held by the Kingdom of Bulgaria while the land of Empire of Slupsk's home lands are the larger south eastern blob. Does this seem like normal behavior for nomads in 769? The Slupsk Empire is Tribal, I really don't get how they're an Empire. I play in 867 and 1066 mostly.

Do you have Charlemagne installed? I believe it's possible for the AI to create custom kingdoms and empires if they meet the requirements.

 

[RoverGrover]

I know that my attempt to settle nomads created an empire named after the county I settled in.

 

[Kljunas]

When a nomad settles, it creates a kingdom. But if he has vassalised a king he'll get an empire instead. I'm pretty sure that's what happened here.

I don't like it personally. It feels like a very cheap gamey way for someone to get an empire title (yeah hordes are empire-tier already but they're special). imo you shouldn't get to keep vassal kingdoms when you settle.

 

[StarSword]

Yeah, that's WAD. Nomad khagans that settle create a custom empire named after their capital county if Charlemagne is active, a titular empire if not. I ended up with a Catholic Empire of Sacz in my Ireland game after some Khazar invaded Poland and settled.

All DLCs on and running.
I wouldn't mind so much is the nomads were "empires" while still nomad, but they shouldnt just keep that level when they settle. Slupsk is Slavic Hungarian Tribal. Such an empire just popping up makes things feel weird in the area. That's not even mentioning the swirls of random lands that Khazaria holds.

Is there any code I can modify to make nomads only create kingdom titles when they settle?

In 769 yeah odd things are the rule rather than the exception in that start.
And I also have experienced some odd settling in the last patch. In 867 I had the magyar settle in ruthenia, bulgaria and wallachia on separate occasions. None of them in pannoia (hungary) though.

Wendish Empire? Oh, you mean the Empire of Slupsk. Traded in my crimson for lime.
